40 Inspirational Speeches in 2 Minutes

October 29th 2009 14:39

The person who created this must really be into films and is obviously very creative. He picked lines from several films in order to come out with an inspirational speech. Amazing!

Singing My Way Back to Blogging

October 29th 2009 13:32

I've been away for a few weeks to attend to some personal matters, but now I'm back. Anybody miss me

Let me go back to blogging by sharing with you an awesome website called SingSnap. If you like singing, you will absolutely love SingSnap. On the website you will find hundreds of songs from various artists covering a variety of genres. All the songs are in minus-one or karaoke version, and you can sing to it, record your performance and choose to share it or keep it private. You can also capture your performance on your webcam. Of course you need to sign-up to gain access and you need to be a paid subscriber in order to access all its features. However, the free version isn't so bad. The only problem I had is that most of the time my recordings becomes out of sync.

Listen to one of my recordings below to get a better idea of what SingSnap has to offer. I warn you though, I'm not a singer so please pardon my voice

You'll notice that my voice becomes out of sync with the music towards the end. I hope they address this problem soon.

Try it out and please share your recordings if you decide to sign-up, I would love to hear your voice.

Gripe-Fest

October 5th 2009 12:06

When you think about it, cliches like "a place for everything and everything in its place" and "a cluttered house equals a cluttered mind" does make sense. I don't consider myself a neat freak but I do try to maintain a semblance of order in my household. However, there are some people in my family who think differently, and yes, I'm referring to my husband.

I don't think all guys are messy but unfortunately for me, my husband is. He's the type of guy who is very willing to lend a hand, but only if you ask him to. He leaves the toilet seat up, doesn't get the logic behind making the bed, leaves dirty dishes on the sink, etc. And wait 'til you see the inside of his car - yikes! It drives me nuts sometimes!

Mother Nature Continues Her Fury

October 1st 2009 19:29

After the destructive typhoon Ondoy in the Philippines, an earthquake measuring 8.3 on the Richter scale struck Samoa and American Samoa on Wednesday morning. The strong earthquake triggered a tsunami with tidal waves reaching almost 4.5 m. Later that day, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake hit Indonesia; a second earthquake measuring 6.8 was felt there early Thursday morning.

This is truly devastating...
